Daawat-e-Ishq (Recipe for Love)

Release Date: 19 September 2014

A deliciously romantic coming together of Gulrez “Gullu” Qadir (Parineeti Chopra) a Hyderabadi shoe-sales girl disillusioned with love because of her encounters with dowry-seeking men; and Tariq “Taru” Haidar (Aditya Roy Kapur) a Lucknawi cook who can charm anybody with the aroma and flavours of his biryani and kebabs.

In the clash of diametrically opposite but equally spicy cultures of Hyderabad and Lucknow, Gullu and Taru arrive at a “tuning-setting”, rewrite traditional recipes of love, crush old-fashioned world-view and make their own masaledaar albeli rangreli pichchar... DAAWAT-E-ISHQ!

Produced by Aditya Chopra, the film is written and directed by Habib Faisal, music is by Sajid-Wajid and lyrics by Kausar Munir.
